We have simply no idea of how to separate these instances from the larger whole, and the fallback position of the club (essentially, "we make the rules and he's not good enough") is practically unassailable.
I don't doubt that either. The same could probably be said for fraternities and sororities at some schools.

And there's no way to fight the practice except to hope it goes away on its own. I think that eventually it will.
